PVC and cotton for a filter Asian style grow
    #22276501 - 09/22/15 09:33 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Has anybody done a grow where the used small bags of substrate with a PVC collar and cotton/poly fill as a filter.  Then remove the filter to allow the fungus to fruit from the PVC collar. 

I've been going in circles looking for the type of bags they use.  They were steamed in a barrel before inoculation which I want to duplicate in my pressure cooker.  Finding usable bags has been the biggest hurdle for me.  Somebody please chime in!

you could always use a canner instead of a pressure cooker if you can't find PP bags.  The whole idea with that style of cultivation is that it relies on cheap labor.  a bag filler ran by 3 people can do 500+ bags an hour.  and they can be bulk steamed, top spawned or stick spawned, and grown in wall cultivation.

for the home grower none of those advantages are really advantageous.  so i'd just stick with filter patch bags if you have a pressure cooker.

Thank you for the new perspective.  Aloha medicinals suggest lime pasteurization for straw as a better way to prevent contamination.  I plan to do small straw logs outdoors on an elevated wall style platform surrounded by bug netting.  I want to do everything but the fruiting process indoors. 

I want a low tek small scale productions that will give me the knowledge to expand and duplicate mushroom grows for other urban farmers.
